DESPERATION BAND
Everyone Overcome (Integrity)
[4 stars]
Desperation Band (featuring worship leaders/songwriters Jared Anderson, Jon Egan and lenn Packiam) captures live worship on perhaps its best effort to date with Everyone Overcome. Past efforts served their purpose and audience well, but this project propels the worship outfit to another level.
The song craftsmanship on Everyone Overcome covers a broad scope of worship styles. Anderson, Egan and Packiam (and anyone else involved in songwriting) hit their stride, offering upbeat, convincing words that speak to unwavering confidence in God.
Desperation Band, its worship leaders and the congregation at New Life Church in Colorado Springs faced startling, tragic moments this past year. The triumphant words and sounds of Everyone Overcome are an example of their spirit and decision to be God’s voice of joy to this generation.
